Ingredients

• 1 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 cup light corn syrup
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 3 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups pecans (chopped and halved)
• 0.5 cup walnuts (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges as desired. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the brown sugar and light corn syrup until fully combined and smooth. Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the slightly cooled butter and sugar mixture to the eggs, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the eggs.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped and halved pecans and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Pour the nut and filling mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading evenly.

Step 8

Place the pie on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

Step 9

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack, about 2–3 hours, before slicing.

Step 10

Serve as is or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
